BXBX NOVEL Chapter 11: Poop
" Damnit just where is my system window? Just let me tear one of your pages I promise it won't hurt. " Lucian spoke as he began to pull the page.
[ N- No, no one had ever done that to me, it will hurt. ]
"..."

After travelling around for a while and resting several times, Lucian was somehow able to find the cave where the protagonist was training. It was a huge cave.
[ After leaving the main character in the cave here some time ago, his master went out and killed all the beasts on this mountain for his disciple. Also before leaving, he left one nice gift for his pupil. ]
" Haa haa Is that so? Just what is that gift? " Lucian asked while panting.
[ Look to your left, the strange looking fruit there is the gift left for the protagonist. ]
Lucian walked up to the fruit. It was a white colored fruit that looked similar to a cherry but had a brown dot pattern over it. There was also a small letter placed next to it.
" Why did his teacher leave the gift out in the open like this? Won't anyone be able to take it just like that? " Lucian asked as he began to open the letter.
[ Of course not, the protagonist's master had not left the fruit just like that in the open. Aside from killing all the surrounding beasts and animals, he had also set up various deadly traps all over the mountain.
But because I brought you here, you were able to avoid all of them, barely though. If someone else had come here, they would definitely be injured, if not dead. And if no one came, then these traps would serve as a test for the MC given by his master. ]
" Okay, now let's see what our teacher has to say... " Lucian then began to read the letter.
" This is my last gift for you, my dear disciple, I'm not sure if we will be able to meet again. This gift may look strange but believe me it will be of great benefit for you, though it won't be enough to make you the strongest. "L
Lucian then placed the letter to the side and observed the fruit. It indeed looked strange, like a poisonous fruit, so to make sure, he asked: ' It is safe to eat, right? Also, what are the benefits of eating this fruit? '
[ Yes it is completely safe for you to consume. Though it won't provide any immediate effects. Also since your body is a lot weaker than the protagonist's so you would need longer to absorb it completely.
But gradually you will grow strong physically and it will at least make you strong enough that you could put a fight. ]
There was no reason for Lucian to doubt Zero's words, not that he had a choice, though he had thought about the possibility of Zero lying to him from the start, but at least for now, he had to believe her.
Taking in a long breath, he ate the fruit in a couple of bites, it tasted a little sweet but he didn't feel anything even after swallowing it. Then he began to look around and finally his eyes landed on the dried poop of some animal.
" Heh, Maybe I should leave a gift behind for my dear protagonist. " Lucian mumbled then he used sticks to drag the poop closer to the cave where the protagonist was training then using the same stick he broke it and gave it a strange shape.
Since the poop was dry it was a bit hard to change its shape, but it was still possible to a certain extent. After he was done with reshaping it, Lucian placed the letter close to it, then he put a stone in top of the letter.
" So we can now leave this mountain, right? " Lucian asked, after he was done setting it up.
[ Yes it's better if you go back now. ]
" Why is it, is the protagonist coming out already? " He asked and began to walk away from there.
[ No but another guest will be coming here, it is one of the villains of the story he is not the main villain but it is a person who has come to this place in a way similar to you. ]
Lucian's steps halted in surprise he had not thought of the possibility that there could be more like him, and then a doubt came to his mind.
" Since he is coming to this place then he must be here for the fruit that I just ate, right? Which means he was also aware of its presence, does he also have a book like you or something? " Lucian spoke if it really is the case then his journey forward might not be as easy as he had expected.
[ Well since he has come from another world he also have a gift just like you, but his gift is different, he already knows most of the things about the protagonist and the story plot. ]
" Sigh, Then he might become a problem in the future, should I take care of him here? " Lucian pondered.
[ Don't worry, even though he knows several events that will happen in the future but it would be of no use, if the future keeps changing right?
Just like now, Lucian, the pretty boy who was supposed to die during the first night of his marriage, survived and even took that treasure. But he knows nothing about it. Therefore, we can use his knowledge to our advantage. ]
After reading Zero's words Lucian finally calmed down a little, he began to walk again but he still had so many questions that he wanted to ask.
" So aside from us two, are there others who have come here and also have these gifts? Then why did you choose me, if you had other choices as well? " Lucian asked after a few seconds.
